Solved CUPS in FreeBSD 11.0: printers are not listed

When I started using FreeBSD 11 a year ago, print/cups worked perfectly. However, after a certain update (it's happened to me at r298793) my printers have disappeared from the list in LibreOffice, Firefox, GIMP and others, but I was able to print from graphics/xpdf using /usr/local/bin/lp using as a print command.

That time (May 14, 2016) I started a fruitless conversation on the mailing list.

Now FreeBSD 11.0 is practically released, but print/cups still behaves the same way. Am I missing something?

Thanks for ideas!
 
I've found the solution by reading this 6-year old topic!
The funny thing is that it was suggested to use a line which became the culprit in my case!
/usr/local/etc/cups/cupsd.conf:
Code: 
Port 631
Probably I've added it long time ago for the same reason, and eventually it's become obsolete and harmful. The fresh cupsd.conf.sample in FreeBSD 11.0 comes without it - having only:
Code: 
Listen localhost:631
Listen /var/run/cups.sock
